Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6 (1837) |
Robert Schumann (1809-1849) |
|||
I am playing the abridged version of the Schumann Davidsbündlertänze
recorded by Fanny Davies. We know for a fact that Clara never played
no.7, for instance, in public, as it must have meant a lot to her.
Hence, Fanny did not record it either. I haven't yet gotten to the
bottom of why she omitted the other 3 dances, and probably never will,
however, as this is a reconstruction program, I thought I ought to be
faithful to Fanny Davies's rendition of it. Hence the following dances are omitted: Heft I: 3 - Mit Humor 7 - Nicht Schnell Heft II: 15 - Frisch 16 - Mit gutem Humor --SJ |
